Malako 8
1 Na mikolo yango, ebele penza ya bato bayaki lisusu kosangana zingazinga ya Yesu. Lokola bazalaki na eloko ya kolia te, Yesu abengaki bayekoli na Ye mpe alobaki na bango:
In those days again, when there was a great multitude, and had nothing to eat; calling his disciples together, he saith to them:
2 — Nazali koyokela bato oyo mawa, pamba te basali mikolo misato elongo na Ngai mpe bazali na eloko ya kolia te.
I have compassion on the multitude, for behold they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat.
3 Soki nazongisi bango na bandako na bango na nzala, bakolemba nzoto na nzela; pamba te, bato mosusu kati na bango bawutaki mosika.
And if I shall send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way; for some of them came from afar off.
4 Bayekoli na Ye bazongisaki: — Kati na esobe oyo, esika nini tokoki kozwa mapa mpo na koleisa bango mpe batonda?
And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one fill them here with bread in the wilderness?
5 Yesu atunaki bango: — Bozali na mapa boni? Bazongisaki: — Tozali na mapa sambo.
And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? Who said: Seven.
6 Boye, alobaki na ebele ya bato yango ete bavanda na mabele. Bongo azwaki mapa yango sambo, azongisaki matondi epai ya Nzambe, akataki yango mpe apesaki biteni na yango epai ya bayekoli na Ye mpo ete bakabola yango epai ya bato. Mpe bayekoli basalaki bongo.
And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke, and gave to his disciples for to set before them; and they set them before the people.
7 Bazalaki mpe na mwa ndambo ya bambisi ya mike-mike. Apambolaki yango mpe alobaki na bayekoli na Ye ete bakabola yango.
And they had a few little fishes; and he blessed them, and commanded them to be set before them.
8 Bato nyonso baliaki mpe batondaki. Bongo bayekoli balokotaki biteni oyo etikalaki, batondisaki na yango bitunga sambo.
And they did eat and were filled; and they took up that which was left of the fragments, seven baskets.
9 Bato bazalaki pene nkoto minei. Bongo, Yesu azongisaki bango.
And they that had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
10 Mbala moko, Yesu amataki na bwato elongo na bayekoli na Ye mpe akendeki na etuka ya Dalimanuta.
And immediately going up into a ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 Bafarizeo bayaki mpe bakomaki kotuna Yesu mituna; mpo na komeka Ye, basengaki na Ye ete asala elembo moko kowuta na Likolo.
And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, asking him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 Yesu ayokaki mawa makasi kati na molimo na Ye mpe alobaki: « Mpo na nini bato ya ekeke oyo bazali kosenga elembo? Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: bakopesamela elembo moko te! »
And sighing deeply in spirit, he saith: Why doth this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, a sign shall not be given to this generation.
13 Bongo atikaki bango, amataki lisusu na bwato mpe akendeki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale.
And leaving them, he went up again into the ship, and passed to the other side of the water.
14 Bayekoli babosanaki komema mapa; bazalaki kaka na lipa moko kati na bwato.
And they forgot to take bread; and they had but one loaf with them in the ship.
15 Yesu akebisaki bango: — Bofungola miso mpe bosala keba na levire ya Bafarizeo mpe ya Erode!
And he charged them, saying: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 Bayekoli bakomaki kolobana bango na bango: — Azali koloba bongo mpo ete tozali na mapa te.
And they reasoned among themselves, saying: Because we have no bread.
17 Yesu asosolaki makanisi na bango; alobaki: — Bozali kolobana bino na bino mpo ete bozali na mapa te! Mpo na nini? Boni, bozwi kaka bososoli nanu te; mayele na bino ezali kaka ya kozipama; bozali na mitema makasi;
Which Jesus knowing, saith to them: Why do you reason, because you have no bread? do you not yet know nor understand? have you still your heart blinded?
18 bozali na miso, kasi bozali komona te; bozali na matoyi, kasi bozali koyoka te? Bobosani penza!
Having eyes, see you not? and having ears, hear you not? neither do you remember.
19 Tango nakataki mapa mitano mpo na kokabolela bato nkoto mitano, bozongaki na motango boni ya bitunga etonda na biteni ya mapa, sima na kokabolela bato? Bazongisaki: — Bitunga zomi na mibale.
When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took you up? They say to him, Twelve.
20 Bongo tango nakataki mapa sambo mpo na kokabolela bato nkoto minei, bozongaki na bitunga boni etonda na biteni ya mapa? Bazongisaki: — Tolokotaki bitumba sambo.
When also the seven loaves among four thousand, how many baskets of fragments took you up? And they say to him, Seven.
21 Alobaki na bango: — Bozwi kaka bososoli nanu te?
And he said to them: How do you not yet understand?
22 Tango bakomaki na Betisaida, bato bamemaki epai na Yesu moto moko akufa miso; mpe basengaki na Yesu ete asimba ye.
And they came to Bethsaida; and they bring to him a blind man, and they besought him that he would touch him.
23 Yesu asimbaki loboko ya mokufi miso mpe amemaki ye na libanda ya mboka; bongo apakolaki ye soyi na miso, atielaki ye maboko mpe atunaki ye: — Boni, omoni eloko?
And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the town; and spitting upon his eyes, laying his hands on him, he asked him if he saw any thing.
24 Moto yango atalaki mpe alobaki: — Nazali komona bato, kasi bazali lokola banzete oyo ezali kotambola.
And looking up, he said: I see men as it were trees, walking.
25 Bongo Yesu atiaki lisusu maboko na Ye na miso ya moto yango, mpe moto yango abikaki. Boye akomaki komona malamu penza.
After that again he laid his hands upon his eyes, and he began to see, and was restored, so that he saw all things clearly.
26 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Kende na ndako na yo, komeka kutu te kozonga na mboka.
And he sent him into his house, saying: Go into thy house, and if thou enter into the town, tell nobody.
27 Yesu mpe bayekoli na Ye bakendeki na bamboka ya Sezarea ya Filipo. Na nzela, atunaki bango: — Bato bazali koloba ete Ngai nazali nani?
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And in the way, he asked his disciples, saying to them: Whom do men say that I am?
28 Bazongisaki: — Bamoko balobaka ete ozali Yoane Mobatisi; bamosusu, Eliya; mpe bamosusu lisusu, moko kati na basakoli.
Who answered him, saying: John the Baptist; but some Elias, and others as one of the prophets.
29 Yesu atunaki bango: — Bongo bino, bolobaka ete Ngai nazali nani? Petelo azongiselaki Ye: — Ozali Masiya.
Then he saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Peter answering said to him: Thou art the Christ.
30 Yesu apekisaki bango makasi koloba bongo na moto ata moko.
And he strictly charged them that they should not tell any man of him.
31 Yesu akomaki koteya bango: — Mwana na Moto asengeli komona pasi mingi; bakambi, bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe balakisi ya Mobeko basengeli koboya Ye, basengeli koboma Ye, mpe, sima na mikolo misato, asengeli kosekwa.
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the ancients and by the high priests, and the scribes, and be killed: and after three days rise again.
32 Azalaki koloba makambo yango na polele penza. Bongo Petelo abendaki Yesu na pembeni mpe akomaki kopamela Ye: — Koloba bongo te!
And he spoke the word openly. And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him.
33 Kasi Yesu abalukaki, atalaki bayekoli na Ye mpe apamelaki Petelo: — Mosika na Ngai, Satana! Makanisi na yo ezali makanisi ya Nzambe te, ezali penza makanisi ya bato.
Who turning about and seeing his disciples, threatened Peter, saying: Go behind me, Satan, because thou savorest not the things that are of God, but that are of men.
34 Yesu abengaki ebele ya bato mpe bayekoli na Ye, alobaki na bango: — Moto nyonso oyo alingi kolanda Ngai asengeli komiboya ye moko, kokamata ekulusu na ye mpe kolanda Ngai.
And calling the multitude together with his disciples, he said to them: If any man will follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 Pamba te moto nyonso oyo akolinga kobikisa bomoi na ye akobungisa yango, kasi moto nyonso oyo akobungisa bomoi na ye mpo na Ngai mpe mpo na Sango Malamu akobikisa yango.
For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel, shall save it.
36 Litomba nini ezali mpo na moto, soki azwi mokili mobimba, kasi abungisi bomoi na ye?
For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?
37 Moto akoki penza kopesa nini mpo na kosikola bomoi na ye?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Moto nyonso oyo akoyoka Ngai mpe maloba na Ngai soni, kati na bato ya ekeke oyo, ba-oyo batosaka Nzambe te mpe batondi na masumu, Mwana na Moto mpe akoyoka ye soni, tango akoya elongo na ba-anjelu ya bule kati na nkembo ya Tata na Ye.
For he that shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
